Two days ago Chris Watts stood in front of the media pleading for the safe return of his missing pregnant wife Shanann and two daughters, Bella, age 3 and Celeste, age 4.
Today Colorado police arrested Watts and charged him with three counts of murder in the first degree and three counts of tampering with physical evidence.
The three had been missing since Monday.
On Tuesday Watts spoke to reporters about the disappearance of his family.
Investigators return to the family home last night and searched the house.
Overnight, the police Department issued a statement saying Watts had been arrested in connection with the case.
Police say they recovered a body on the property of a company where Watts used to work.
They are certain it is a body of Watts’ wife.
Police also say they have strong reason to believe they know where the bodies of the children are and recovery efforts are underway.
Authorities did not reveal a motive for the killings.
